drawing api

[puricvictory]

how can i execute a trace if the user draws in a certain spot. what do i call if i am using the drawing API?

I assume you're using some kind of onMouseMove function to run the drawing api; in that function, run a hitTest on a target area clip, or the coordiates of the mouse and if it falls within the area, run the trace.

i think i need something a little bit more advanced than a hit test. Right when a mouseDown is triggered the trace would pop up. I need something so that after the paint is scribbled on in a certain parameter--like a submit btn to see if its correct?
